Hi All,

In this article we will discuss basics about Microsoft Graph and we will have series of articles in more details.

In One of the previous article “Office 365 – Microsoft Graph and Graph Explorer” we have discussed basics about Microsoft Graph and Graph Explorer. Since then also lots of changes happening, lots of support came like Graph APIs for Microsoft Teams, using MS Graph APIs in SPFX component, unifies access to services in M365 suite and so. So, thought to again write series of articles and exploring more detailed in Microsoft Graph concepts, use cases and examples.

Note: I would say those who really want to go in depth of Microsoft Graph, please go through all the articles in this series, put your comments, ask questions. For Office 365 / SharePoint online developers, Microsoft Graph is the future.
